Goshawks

[Jamin_Mayer]

I've never seen a Goshawk in real life. It's an amazing bird.

I promise you and your kids will enjoy this short video.

I had to stop my vehicle for what I thought was 6 Goshawks doing some goofy drunk chicken dance in the middle of the road just feet from my vehicle. At least 2 more were in the trees. They were oblivious of my vehicle, it went on til another vehicle approached and I had to beep my horn. Strange scene.

awesome Jamin, thanks. I always love anything with raptors and I learned something there that i didn't know.

Boreality, very odd if they really were goshawks and that many together. I think you were seeing vultures or crows

You must be right as always X.

yea cool stuff...didn't know about this bird

I love how it's head and eyes stay on target the whole time.

Then when it needs to pass through the hole, it places it's feet in first, then uses it's feet/legs to push out. Again, the dang bird's focus on the target is awesome!

I'd be like, "Oh look! Over there! Shiny object!" ---Splat!
